Pet owners can take part in sound healing with their dogs at this festival
Festival-goers can expect live performances, workshops, film screenings, talks, and interactive sound installations to explore at your own pace. Eaton's vinyl sharing series A2B x Mystery Train will host listening sessions of Kendrick Lamar's newest album GNX as well as analyses of the lyrics and themes. The Colony Kids Record Fair also returns with a marketplace selling rare vinyls, second-hand sound equipment, zines, and DIY electronics – perfect for any sound enthusiast.
One of the most interesting highlights of the festival is a pet-friendly sound healing session guided by Shoji, which pet owners are encouraged to attend with their dogs. If you're unfamiliar with singing bowls, it is a therapeutic practice that uses harmonic sounds created by tones and vibrations from striking or stroking metal bowl-shaped bells, which promotes relaxation, mindfulness, and a state of meditation. The sound waves produced can help both dogs and owners reduce stress, so if you've got an anxious doggy, try out this sound healing to see if they feel more at ease afterwards!
Of course, no music-related festival can be without live performances, and this year's Unheard line-up includes Donna Goldn, a Belgian vocalist who interestingly creates genre-melding pop in Korean and English; experimental duo cehryl & hirsk; local musician and producer Loisey; and the debut of Hong Kong-based collective A Vivid Machine.
The festival events will be spread across two weekends from July 26 to August 3, with most being free to take part in, though some performance nights will be ticketed. Check out the full programme details here.

Ed Sheeran buys lavish £9M New York pad as singer adds to ever-growing property portfolio
He already has an impressive property portfolio worth a staggering £70million. And in his latest move to expand his ever-growing investments, Daily Mail can reveal Ed Sheeran has snapped up a sprawling £9million pad in New York. The singer, 34, has purchased his dream pad in the heart of Brooklyn, which neighbours his pal Kendrick Lamar. Ed - who is estimated a whopping £300million - and his wife Cherry Seaborn set up a company to handle the purchase of the NYC home. The couple, who have been married since 2019, share daughters Lyra, four, and Jupiter, two, and grew up together in the same town in Suffolk. Setting up the company has given Ed and Cherry tax advantages should they come to flog the splendid waterfront property. Documents filed in New York show that no mortgage or loan is attached to the sale. The pair were already renting another pad in the same complex for a whopping £25,000 per month before deciding to buy their new place outright. The Grammy-winning star purchased the roughly 3,400-square-foot place in an off-market deal. The large complex offers luxury amenities including two fitness centres, a garage with EV charging stations and 24-hour attended lobbies. Ed already owns at least 27 properties in London including a large £20million house in Notting Hill and houses in other sought-after areas including Holland Park and Covent Garden. The star's investments are held under private companies and don't even include his large estate in Suffolk where he lives with his wife Cherry and their two daughters. And his business ventures are not just UK-based, the A Team singer also has a large villa in Italy which comes with its own vineyards. Five assets in the capital have been incorporated into Sheeran's vast 'Edopoly' property empire. His old rental - which sits in the same complex building - included a foyer and the kitchen alongside two sets of stairs inside Sheeran's Brooklyn apartment He has two properties in Covent Garden, and a pair of flats by the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home. These four homes alone are thought to be among his most expensive, with conservative estimates putting them at a total value of £9million. Ed also owns five apartments in Wiverton Tower in Whitechapel worth £3.9million and a mansion in Holland Park valued at nearly £20million. The Shape of You singer has another four properties in Holland Park worth £11million, and a trendy Portobello Road restaurant called Bertie Blossoms. Daily Mail previously reported that Ed bought several Notting Hill properties to prevent complaints about 'loud music and parties'. Outside of London, the musician owns a vast £3.7million Suffolk country estate dubbed 'Sheeranville' by local villagers. After moving into a Grade II-listed farmhouse in his hometown of Framlington in 2012, Ed bought another four homes.
